Chapter 1365: Exploring the Mansion (Building a house in the Seven-Day World is fun)

After filming the exterior of the mansion, the film crew also entered the interior of the mansion.

This mansion is old. Although the door is intact, the lock on it is basically useless. It only opens with a slight push. The film crew also quickly entered the hall of the mansion and began the next filming task.

The layout of the entire hall is very simple. In addition to the wide hall, the east and west buildings are connected to the left and right respectively, and there are stairs leading to the second floor in front. Although a long time has passed, perhaps because it was previously repaired by the second owner, the mansion in front of me does not look too dilapidated.

But the most eye-catching thing right now is not the mansion itself, but a stone statue erected in the center of the hall!

"What is this?"

Looking at the stone statue in front of him, a staff member murmured to himself in a low voice, and the others were somewhat uneasy about it. It’s no wonder, this stone statue is so evil!

It is actually nothing new for rich families to place stone statues in their homes, but generally speaking, they place things like angels and sacred animals.

However, the stone statue in front of me is extremely weird!

It has an alien-like cucumber-shaped head, a centipede-like body standing straight up, and the six claws in front of it splaying. It doesn't look like an angel or a monster, but more like an alien monster!

This is why everyone feels awkward. Just imagine, if you put two stone lions in front of your home, no one would think there is anything wrong.

But if you put two alien sculptures in front of your home, then...it looks weird, right?

"Professor? What is this sculpture..."

The host also hurried forward and asked curiously. The old professor looked at the stone statue in confusion, and shook his head after a moment.

"This seems to be unrecorded, and I don't know much about it...but judging from the text on the base, this should be some kind of evil demon image in Buddhist scriptures."

As he spoke, the old professor pointed to the bottom of the base. Only then did everyone see Buddhist scriptures engraved on the base of the stone statue.

"But why not just carve a statue of Buddha instead of a demon?"

"This...I don't know."

The old professor chuckled and turned the topic away. Those rich people always have some strange interests, and this kind of thing is actually not uncommon. But of course this can't be said directly in a variety show, so I just skipped it. The host just asked casually. Seeing that the old professor had no intention of answering, he didn't think much about it.

On the contrary, Duanmuhuai stared at the stone statue and frowned slightly.

Duanmu Huai didn't know what was carved on this stone statue, but he was sure that it was definitely some kind of alien creature!

In other words, this place is actually caused by alien creatures?

If this is the case, then Duanmu Huai will understand why he cannot detect the other party's existence.

After all...the categories are different.

In the world of Cthulhu, there are three major threats.

They are outer gods, old rulers and alien creatures.

Among them, although the outer gods are the most harmful, they are the ones you don’t mess with and they don’t mess with you.

The Old Ones are relatively the most troublesome, because they always want to get back to the top and regain everything they lost, so they have the strongest mobility. It will take the initiative to cause trouble even if others don't mess with it. This is also the most common target of Duanmuhuai.

And alien creatures - they are existences from outside the sky in a literal sense.

However, this kind of alien creature is not a simple alien life form like green-skinned orcs, space necrons, or protoss. On the contrary, they are closer to terrifying and powerful existences like Star God!

Among them, the relatively weak ones, such as Migo, Flying Hydra, Xagai Zerg, and Ancient Ones, are closer to the concept of alien creatures in science fiction movies.

But the strong ones, such as Star Color, are basically natural disaster level existences - well, except for the great race Yis.

Of course, in the world of Cthulhu, these alien creatures are collectively classified as monsters.

What's more important is that these alien creatures are not just weird in appearance, they all have particularly strange and powerful abilities, and that's the point!

But that's it. The problem is that before these people came, Duanmu Huai secretly searched the entire house with his thousand eyes, and the result was that he didn't even find a hammer!

This is a bit tricky.

Duanmu Huai is not afraid of physical creatures, such as earth-boring demon insects. They are powerful, but it is not difficult for me to kill you. Just hit him with a real knife and a real gun. But facing those non-entity existences, Duanmu Huai is a little powerless. For illusory existences like Star Color, you don't know where to hit or who to hit even if you want to hit them. This is the most troublesome!

Now Duanmuhuai felt that there might be an energy creature like Star Color here, so what he could do was very limited.

Unless the opponent absorbs enough power and finally reveals his true form like Xing Zhicai, Duanmu Huai can only fight with the air.

Literally.

Damn, I hate this kind of pretentious stuff.

Duanmuhuai cursed secretly, then withdrew his senses and looked away from the stone statue. By this time, the film crew had finished filming the scenes here, and then it was time for the exploration team—actresses and crosstalk actors to appear.

"Wow, this place is really weird."

As soon as he came in, the crosstalk actor shouted exaggeratedly, and the actress looked around with an uneasy look.

"Ugh...that stone statue is really scary..."

Of course, this naturally started to explore the shooting process. Then the director came over, gave each of them a portable camera under the camera, and then motioned for the two of them to explore the entire mansion.

"Wow, director, aren't you like this? You really want us to go!"

At this moment, the crosstalk actor's face turned pale with fright, his two legs were trembling, and he almost wanted to leave first - of course, this was all staged. The reason why they choose to participate in this show is because it can be regarded as a way to increase their fame. If their performance in the show is very good and they will win praise from the audience, it will naturally be good for their acting career. Crosstalk actor itself is a funny profession, so his exaggerated style similar to comics makes sense.

"Okay, don't be so nervous, we will send someone to protect you."

As he spoke, the director pointed at Duanmu Huai.

"He will always follow you, so you can rest assured."

The actress and cross talk actor looked at Duanmu Huai who was standing not far away, wearing sunglasses, and their faces turned pale - well, this doesn't require any acting skills, just play it from the heart.

"Great, now we can rest assured."

The actress also breathed a sigh of relief and kept patting her chest. The persona she created externally was that of a pure white moonlight in the shape of a bird. Originally, according to the routine, the actress should go up and get close to Duanmu Huai and show her charm as a weak woman. But looking at Duanmuhuai's iron-like body and his face that looked more ferocious than the gangsters in the movie, the actress didn't dare to go over. She even dared to timidly nod to Duanmuhuai, and then went with her. He distanced himself.

"Then let's set off."

After the crosstalk actor said this, he walked directly towards the East Building, while the actress, Duanmu Huai and two other staff members also followed behind.

As for the remaining staff, they stayed in the lobby and began to sort out the previously shot materials.

"Pay attention, pay attention. Everything that should be photographed must be photographed in place."

Sitting on a chair, the director is also there with a loudspeaker directing others to do things. After all, shooting requires a long process and there is a lot of material to be shot. It's not like what the audience sees on TV, just shooting the protagonist's shots and that's it. When we were in the lobby before, the camera crew also shot the footage of the lobby first, and then let the host and guests appear.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

At this moment, suddenly, with the sound of thunder, it suddenly became dark outside, and then heavy rain poured down, and rushed directly into the hall under the strong wind. For a time, the materials and papers in the hall were flying everywhere. The staff members also hurriedly started packing their things, but when the director saw this scene, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Okay, the rain is great. Photographer, did you take a picture?"

"It was filmed."

The chief photographer nodded.

"Where's the No. 2 aircraft? What's going on with the No. 2 aircraft?"

"This, this...director, I, I seem to have forgotten to put the tape on..."

After hearing the director's question, another photographer reported uneasily.

"What?"

After hearing the other party's answer, the director suddenly became furious.

"Didn't I tell you before that it's likely to rain today, so I want you to focus on shooting the exteriors? What are you doing for food?!"

The director was also staring at the photographer at this moment, and he was very angry. The budget of the variety show was limited, and if special effects were to be used, no amount of money would be able to afford it. That’s why the director came up with this idea. He knew it would rain heavily here today, so he chose this date specifically to add these shots to the show - real nature is much more shocking than special effects, and it doesn’t cost money. Woolen cloth!

In the end, this **** didn't even put the tape on? In other words, he just carried the camera here for a long time and took a picture of loneliness?

"Yes, I'm sorry...director..."

"What a waste! Go away, go away! This is the first time!"

Staring at the photographer, the director was also very angry. This guy had made mistakes several times, and he had clearly reminded him, but he was still so forgetful.

"You tell me whether you can work! If you can't work, get out! When you get back to the stage, I will tell you to get out completely! I've had enough of you, this incompetent idiot! Do you hear me? Idiot! "

"…………"

Hearing the director's curse, everyone else present was shocked. Although they also knew that the director had a bad temper, it was only such a small thing that could make him so angry. The scolded photographer also stood there with his head lowered, saying nothing, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Okay, okay, director, don't be so angry. He was just too nervous and forgot about it."

At this time, the chief photographer also hurriedly came up to smooth things over. It was not that he had any feelings for the other photographer, but that the shooting had just begun, and the director was immediately furious. How could he continue filming? Other staff members also hurried forward, comforting the director and taking the photographer aside.

"Hey, you too, how could you forget the director's instructions? Go to work quickly and don't make the director angry again."

"I see………"

The photographer lowered his head and spoke silently, then turned and walked towards the West Building.

"Wait, what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to smoke a cigarette."

Before he finished speaking, the photographer disappeared behind the gate of the West Building. Seeing him leave, the staff member who had comforted the photographer shook his head and went about his own business.

After all, the director over there is still furious.
